“…it has increased his confidence and self-esteem considerably…”

My son is a 2-year veteran of this program, loves it, and has benefited from it immeasurably. The art, concentration, discipline and exercise has been fabulous for him — it has increased his confidence and self-esteem considerably. He is passionate about the philosophy and skills he’s learned is wants to be a student of this discipline for a long time. Connelly Academy and Mr. Peeples (the instructor) have offered nothing but consistent, well-organised and overall top-notch program.
